I don't have a link, but I once saw a circa-1900 cartoon that depicted a city covered in advertisements. On the side of a building one read "We'll advertise anywhere - churches our specialty!"

War Is A Racket (1935): http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html

duncan_bayne• 11 years ago

Written by a retired USMC Major General who won the Medal of Honor. Twice. And then saved the USA from a coup as a civilian.

In addition to writing a very well informed criticism of the 'war economy', he's definitely someone I'd buy a beer for if he were still alive.
